The thing is while the German trio also do white elephants, nobody does it as well as a RR!

The previous RR was never sold. It is still used in their family.

Is the red Evo X from that lot back on the road or is it rusting away in some yard?

All the cars - Vantage, Phantom, GTR, Evo X and Hummer H2 - are lying in some yard down south either in Tamil Nadu or Kerala. They were supposed to be auctioned, but the auction never really took place.

I am told the Vantage is beyond repairs now.

The Answer of the Season has been chosen from the quirkiest and most fun answers given by the guests in the sixth season of Koffee with Karan that airs Sundays at 9 pm on Star World.

“Audi has always been associated with the top most events and properties in the world of entertainment and sports, globally as well as locally. This is why we are encouraged to have received a fantastic response from our association in India with ‘Koffee with Karan’.

The car was on sale since quite a lot of time now I think. It has found it's new home in the Umrah Developers garage at Mysore where it shares the Garage with a Ghost!

The article says the car costs anywhere between 49-65 lacs 🤣🤣 . If that was the case it would've flooded Range Rovers in India.

One of the cars in 369 Garage also do not have 0 prefix. Link (The 369 Garage : Mollywood's Petrolhead Father-Son Duo (Mammootty & Dulquer Salmaan))

First they say it costs between 49 and 65L, then they display the full registration number of a car owned by a celebrity. Journalism in this country is hitting an all time high, I must say. :banghead:

I think they just converted the price of US model of Range Rover into rupees and published it

Common mistake by our media

AFAIK, The thing is that the number plate should have the exact same number as the RC so if the RC doesn't have a prefix of 0, then ideally, the plate shouldn't have it too. This practice (without prefix 0) was there before the advent of HSRPs I think and therefore, since these cars are older, they might have had only single digits on the RC.

There was a Fortuner owner on the forum who had the same question when he bought the VIP number and he had explained this. Here's the link to his post-

Nothing screams style & taste like a Range Rover. I love their designs as much as I hate their reliability.

Just like the mass market, Bollywood too has a herd mentality. Notice how they all buy the same cars from time to time (e.g. Pajero, then Landcruiser, Q7 etc.).

While that is true to a large extent, it also has a lot to do with which car maker is offering the best “celebrity deals”. When one star cracks a deal he often tells the other and then their manager ensures he/she gets the same deal. Rather than go be the first one to negotiate a deal with another car maker, it’s easy to price match with the herd.

I think at this point RR has beaten even the previous gen Q7s popularity in Bollywood. Almost every A-list and some B-list star has one.
